KRISTINA BOWMAN Mad About The Rise School Chairmen Mark & Celina Barry M iller Madness, the annual fund-raiser for The Rise School of Dallas, was exactly the kind of backyard bash we go wild for: boots, beer and a bigboard auction, all spanning the grounds of a sprawling mansion. This time, Kandis and Bill Hutchinson offered up their monumental Lakeside Drive estate for the evening, allowing chairmen Celina and Mark Barry to fill every square foot with deep-pocketed, Texaschic-attired social swells (event founders Wendy and John Poston, Caroline Feherty, Joe Hickman, Scott Griffith, David Kiger, Clemmie Bernet, Jenny Galbraith, and Margot Ruebel), gourmet bites and a concert from Fort Worth–based band Two Door Ford. It was a knockout house party, to be sure.
